Sorry my posts haven't been as frequent but I've been such a busy guy with preschool and visiting museums that I just haven't had much time to write about my adventures.This year the week of Thanksgiving became an unplanned vacation for our family. Mommy was supposed to have school everyday until Thursday but Monday afternoon we were greeted by the first
snowstorm of the year. Other areas of the country can still function when it snows but for some reason in Seattle we completely shutdown. (Poor G and Papa Boogs sat on the 520 bridge for somewhere around 5 hours!)
Mommy used the week to complete all of her Thanksgiving tasks,to do her Christmas shopping online, decorate the house for Christmas and do some cookie baking. Daddy and I were exhausted just watching her. After a few days of being stuck inside we were all happy to be able to leave the house on Wednesday.
I enjoyed filling my beach bucket with snow and sledding but the snow was too dry for us to build a snowman. I also don't like wearing a hat or gloves outside so Mommy wouldn't let me spend too much time in the snow.
We spent Thanksgiving day at G and Papa's house along with Nanny, "RD", Josh, Loren her boyfriend, and the Olsons. It was a nice big family gathering. Everyone at tons of food and enjoyed being able to watch the Saints play and beat those Cowboys! My favorite part of the day was eating dessert.
On Saturday we took our annual trip to Molbak's to visit with Santa. Once again this year I didn't want to have anything to do with that man in the red coat and beard. Mommy and Daddy and I roamed the store and took a few pictures..eventually the man in the coat and beard offered me a candy cane. I had never had one before, but I do love the sound of candy! Since I was getting the candy anyway from Santa I decided to sit in his lap and tell him what I would like for Christmas. I guess he really wasn't all that bad after all.
The Sunday after Thanksgiving I spent the night with G and Papa because Mommy was on a mission. She decided to participate in the Seattle Half Marathon (as if she needed another thing to do). She completed her 13.1 miles in just over 3:33. She was exhausted afterwards and Daddy and I had to take care of her owies. I told her not to cry and that everything would be okay. I'm a big helper and Daddy and I are very proud of Mommy.
I am very excited for Christmas this year, I love my Christmas tree and my neighbor's Christmas lights. I hope to help Daddy hang lights on my house this weekend if the weather is nice. Mommy and Daddy also told me that in less than 10 days we are going to Louisiana to visit all of our family. Daddy has big plans for the visit, that mostly include what we are going to eat. Mommy is insisting that our first stop has to be LSU to say "hello" to Mike the Tiger. I just can't wait to unwrap presents and fly on the airplane! |  |
